[...]
That’s tornado. As I understand it, tornado is a remake of a classic C64 game called Weatherwar, with the object being to destroy your opponents house by controlling the elements. It’s a variation on the catapult game theme, since your success at tornado will depend a little on your ability to calculate the target given information on wind speeds.
